Introducing Levi-Strauss: A Graphic Guide (Graphic Guides)

Introducing LÃ©vi-Strauss is a guide to the work of the great French anthropologist Claude LÃ©vi-Strauss (1908â€“2009). The book brilliantly traces the development and influence of LÃ©vi-Strauss' thought, from his early work on the function of the incest taboo to initiate an exchange of women between groups, to his identification of a timeless â€œwildâ€ or â€œprimitiveâ€ mode of thinking â€“ a pensÃ©e sauvage â€“ behind the processes of human culture.

Accessibly written by Boris Wiseman and beautifully illustrated by Judy Groves, Introducing LÃ©vi-Strauss also explores the major contribution that LÃ©vi-Strauss made to contemporary aesthetic history â€“ his work on American-Indian mythology provides a key insight into the way in which art itself comes into being.

This is an essential introduction to a key thinker.
